“We can become so afraid of death that we never live, so afraid of failure that we never risk, so afraid of pain that we never discover how strong we really are.”
― Erwin Raphael McManus, The Last Arrow: Save Nothing for the Next Life

“Success will lie to you and tell you that your future is just an extension of your past, when at its best, success is simply preparation for new challenges.”
― Erwin Raphael McManus, The Last Arrow: Save Nothing for the Next Life

“The great tragedy that I have witnessed over and over again is that we keep underestimating how much God wants to do in us and through us. Too many of us have believed the lies we have been told: that we’re not good enough, we’re not smart enough, we’re not talented enough, we’re just not enough. One of the facets of God that makes him extraordinary is his ability to do the impossible through ordinary, everyday, common people like you and me.”
― Erwin Raphael McManus, The Last Arrow: Save Nothing for the Next Life

“There have been men before … who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God himself… as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist. There have been some who were so preoccupied with spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce
